Blackened Tilapia {Avocado Sauce} & Roasted Sweet Potatoes

People often ask  “how do you find time to cook these elaborate meals every night of the week?”

Well, the answer… I absolutely don’t!

All-American Tea Sandwiches

Yesterday we kicked off the 4th of July week with the most American event possible, a baseball game at the new Marlin’s Stadium. It was our first time at the stadium (terrible…we are only 2 miles from it) and we partied at the Clevelander with some good family friends. Such an awesome day!

Roasted Pork Loin & Veggies with Chimichurri

I have the unfortunate task of re-sizing every image on this site since I recently switched from wordpress.com to wordpress.org.

Believe me. There are a million other things I would rather do…like cook, blog, run outside in this wild tropical storm Debby wind, finish 50 Shades Darker with a glass of wine, or even work!
